Mayors to traders: Price freeze in effect

(UPDATE) THE local chief executives in the Camanava area, representing four cities north of Metro Manila, warned unscrupulous traders against increasing prices of basic commodities, saying the 60-day price freeze is still in force.

Camanava, or the cities of Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela, declared a state of calamity amid severe flooding caused by torrential rains from the southwest monsoon (habagat) enhanced by Typhoon Carina nearly three weeks ago.
